No clinical deterioration occurred in the group without graft occlusion (16/16: specificity 100%). The conclusion of the study was that coronary graft occlusion on the one hand is rarely accompanied by clinical symptoms, but on the other hand if there were clinical symptoms graft occlusion was ...
Current guidelines recommend revascularization of chronically occluded arteries only in patients with myocardial ischemia and/or symptoms associated with angina. We investigated outcome of patients with total chronic occlusion of the right coronary artery (RCA) receiving coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG...
thecoronary artery occlusion. Animal models of MI can be achieved by direct occlusion of coronary artery using either reversible hydraulic occluder or ligation. Numerous studies from different species including, mice, rat, rabbit, dog, pig, and nonhuman primates, have been reported previously...
An accurate morphologic identification of anomalous arteries, by multi-detector computed tomography, is mandatory before planning any therapeutic intervention. We report an interesting case of chronic total occlusion of the right coronary artery in a young patient with anomalous left coronary artery....
" or "that which encircles."Coronary artery disease,or occlusion of the coronary arteries, can cause a heart attack, the death of heart tissue, orcardiac arrest,the failure of the heart to function. · The popular use ofcoronaryas a synonym forheart attack,as in an article that asks"Is ...
The catheterization procedure can induce vessel spasm and/or can tear the lining of a vessel, resulting in occlusion and possibly death in a patient who may not have had CAD. The procedure can also result in embolism, which may cause stroke or limb loss; nerve damage, infection, and other...

Coronary artery fistula (CAF), as an abnormal connection between major coronary arterial branches or/and other branches, macrovessels and chambers, shows clinical symptoms in 80% of the patients over 20 years of age.1 An epidemiological study showed that the incidence of CAF complicated with coron...
The best management regimen for patients with coronary artery disease requiring surgery and bilateral total internal carotid artery occlusion remains controversial. A 61-year-old male patient presented with unstable angina pectoris. His medical history revealed that he had a cerebrovascular accident 11 yea...
aThe Occluded Artery Trial (OAT) showed no difference in outcomes between percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) versus optimal medical therapy (MED) in patients with persistent total occlusion of the infarct-related artery 3 to 28 days post-myocardial infarction. Whether PCI may benefit a subset ...
